In the current environment, a couple of knocks in a row like he played the other day and/or some good ODI knocks and he'll be in with a big chance.

I'd agree if he was getting to 20 more often. How you get out is pretty ****ing irrelevant. If Bradman had got out the same way 4 times in a row no one would care because he'd have made about 400 runs in the mean time. It's the fact Hughes isn't even getting starts that's the problem. As we saw in the last test a 20 was still good for a 50 run partnership. You can build good innings around 50 run opening partnerships, but 1/sfa is no good. I'm happy to give Cowan a chance to show if he really is up to it or not. I don't think Eddie will ever be the player Hughes will be, but for the next couple of years he could do a really handy job for us and act as a foil for Warner. Hopefully by then Hughes will be ready to come back and fire.
Khawaja on the other hand is getting the starts and hanging around to build a partnership. That is worth persevering with. If he's getting 20s and 30s eventually the big one will come. You'd just ask him to work on turning over the strike a bit more.

No crowds at test matches, being unable to bat in bowler friendly conditions, T20 leagues effecting preparation for test series...
You'd think this was India and the BCCI

ummm, Marsh out of Chairman XI and therefore out of Boxing Day Test. Ed Cowan now switched to 3-day game to replace Marsh...
So now maybe Watson for Hughes only batting order change?
...or Cowan if Watson not fit?

Looks to me like Hughes has irreparable technical deficiencies...with the standard of new ball bowling around the world on the upturn, it's going to be ultra hard for him to be any kind of consistent.
Unless he stays out for about 10 years, waits for bowling and pitches to go to ****, and then makes a great comeback.... like a Hayden

Yeah my hand is definately not up. Not suprising in the slightest. Really gonna have to look beyond Marsh now too, unfortunatly it just doesn't look like he will be up for test cricket in the long term. Wonder if they are going to keep Khawaja then, or put in Cowan?

*grabs popcorn*Tbf, I'd still back Punter and Hussey to score some runs in the India series. India do have a habit of the whole attack turning up in one match per series, but half the time it's Zaheer vs the world, poor sod
